TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR EXPORT BUYERS

Huutokaupat.com (the “Service”) is provided by Mezzoforte Oy (Finnish Business ID: 2004568-7) (the “Service Provider”).

These terms and conditions for export buyers (the “Export T&Cs”) apply (in addition to the documents referred to below) to export business users of the Service (the “Export Buyer(s)”).

1. EXPORT BUYERS

The Service Provider accepts Export Buyers subject to the following criteria:

  • The Export Buyer is a legal entity registered and operating in the EU with valid VAT identification number;
  • The Export Buyer is not subject to any sanctions;
  • The Service is used for the purpose of purchasing goods to be exported from Finland; and
  • No adverse findings are made in the Know Your Customer process of the Service Provider.

No consumer-customers are approved as Export Buyers. The Export Buyers are not eligible to sell goods through the Service. The goods are sold and delivered only to approved Export Buyers, i.e. it is prohibited to use the Export Buyer’s user account for the benefit of third parties.

2. TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The use of the Service and the transactions carried out in the Service are subject to these Export T&Cs and the following terms and conditions (as amended from time to time):

  • Terms and Conditions of Sale (if applicable to the respective auction)
  • Terms and Conditions of Huutokaupat.com
  • Auction Terms and Conditions for Huutokaupat.com Transactions
  • Auction Terms and Conditions for Transactions Between Users

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Export T&Cs and any of the above terms, these Export T&Cs shall prevail.

3. SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO EXPORT BUYERS

The following special provisions apply to the Export Buyers:

  • The Export Buyers are only eligible to participate in auctions where the delivery term is “Nouto” (pickup), which for them is equivalent to “Ex Works” (Incoterms 2020). The place of delivery is the location where the goods are located, as indicated in the Service.
  • The Export Buyers must carefully inspect the goods purchased prior to taking possession. If the Export Buyer fails to conduct appropriate inspection, the right to present claims against the seller is deemed waived.
  • If the inspection reveals any defect, inconsistency or other issues, the Export Buyer must not take possession of the goods and must immediately notify the Service Provider (contact information).
  • With respect to vehicles subject to registration procedures, the Export Buyers must:
  1. Follow the Service Provider’s registration instructions for Export Buyers. These differ from other customers and will be sent separately by email after the auction.
  2. Not export the vehicle before the handover process is completed (as instructed by the Service Provider).
  3. Pick-up the registration documents (parts I and II) from a Finnish vehicle inspection station after the registration process is completed. The completion of the registration process usually takes up to one week. The Service Provider will not send these documents to the Export Buyer and the Export Buyer must pay for the documents at the inspection station. Please note that the person picking up the documents must be duly authorized.
  • If the Service Provider acts as the seller of the goods (i.e. in “Huutokaupat.com-kauppa” and not in “Käyttäjien Välinen Kauppa”), the Service Provider provides applicable VAT-refund (if any) after having received:
  1. Full payment for the goods (including payment of the VAT);
  2. Duly completed export form (to be sent by the Service Provider after the auction);
  3. Evidence of the export of the goods without any undue delay following the auction (e.g. a bill of lading, registration of the vehicle in another country); and
  4. Any other information reasonably requested by the Service Provider from time to time, which may include, but is not limited to, sufficient evidence that the goods have not been used in Finland after the purchase.

4. OTHER PROVISIONS

The Export Buyer accepts these Export T&Cs and any terms, conditions and rules referred to herein by using the Service. The Service Provider shall have the right to amend these Export T&Cs by notifying the Export Buyer of the change by email or through the Service. Unless otherwise indicated, the changes will take effect fifteen (15) days after the notification. The Export Buyer accepts the changes by continuing to use the Service.

These Export T&Cs, the use of the Service and the transactions carried out in the Service are governed by the laws of Finland excluding its conflict-of-laws rules or principles. The International Sale of Goods Act (CISG) or any other corresponding internationally applicable statute or act shall not be applied. Any disputes arising from or in connection with the foregoing shall be resolved by the District Court of Helsinki as the court of first instance.
